So has anyone installed a set of these on a 93? Seems like the thread kind of died...
 
This thread needs a better title. :)

I'll ask as well,

Do these footholds need a backing brace? I tried to peer in my driver's side (US version) inner body but didn't see any nuts of any sort.
 
Has anyone installed these on a North American spec LC yet?
 
Try PM-ing "gotmud" and see if he can still get you a set...

Good luck!
 
I'm interested in these too, as I think they're much more subtle than throwing a ladder on the back, and would still help w/ access to a roof rack. But I'd really like to know if anyone's looked on the inside of their 80 to confirm that it has threaded holes to mount these?
 
They seem to be available at ToyotaPartSales.com just plug in the part numbers already listed in this thread and they come up as being for sale.
 
Just looked in my US spec 96 fzj on the drivers side and did not find any holes. Maybe im looking in the wrong place. Anyone confirm the holes in US spec?

There are no holes....

Gotmud, could you PM the buyer of the first set and see if he will post up?


Thanks,

So what was this guy referring to?

Context is everything.

NEWSFLASH..............There is no backing ...the body has built in threads.....Just bolt on. no backing.

I just removed one off a UN 100 like in my very first picture. They are very solid steps. Now I have to assume all land cruisers have the threads in the body right........or is this something that they just started on the 100? I am willing to bet all of them have these threaded bolt holes already there. We just need to know where to drill through the skin. The UN guy I met today was cool. He has been driving UN cruisers for 14 years. He also told me there is a ladder that clamps on to the 3 steps for real easy access. Where do I find one of those?????
When I get a day off I will make a template of the 100 and try to take pictures. There really isnt much I can show you other than a hole. There is nothing to see inside. And these bad boys have armor. Who ever is making these armored ones are taking them off and filling the holes with allen head bolts

The more I think about it you should be able to find the threaded holes from the inside and stick something through to mark where to drill the holes. I would like to investigate this myself but my Land Cruiser is over 10k miles away. Could anybody do some exploratory surgery for me? I am sure there is a way to find the holes from the inside. I did notice that the "ornament" backing piece is a joke. I think it is to keep your shoes from scratching the paint or something. definatly not

He's talking about a non-US spec 100 series.

I just looked at my 80 to confirm. No bracket. No threads. No holes.
 
Darn. Thanks for reminding me that I was skimmin haha.

This makes the install quite a bit more involved, cuz I'd imagine some significantly strong backing plates would have to be welded in place - strong enough to support 250 lbs or so of weight.
 
These are in the EPC now. You can get them directly from Toyota.


I just PMed you about this earlier today.
That's good to hear.

I doubt that they'd need to be welded in, nor do I think you could easily do so even if you wanted to.

Since the metal is rounded there, it's actually quite strong. Really quite amazingly strong. I know, since I had to get it bent back in place after I got hit in the rear quarter. :doh:

Anyway, a couple of big fender washers would probably spread the load just fine.
 
I have cleared out my PM box several times since I sold the last set. That was many orders ago, and I simply don't remember the Mudder that bought them.

As Beno said, they are in the US parts system. The last time I ordered a set, I had to provide proof of owning a non-US 80. Normally this isn't a problem. However, I have ordered as many step sets as I have non-US 80 registrations, so now it is a one for one swap. Things may have changed, but it's the same story as the OEM snorkels.
 
Are these still available in the US for the passenger side?

Also, does anyone have a pic of these installed on a North American market 80 series?
